It's a conspiracy I tell you, a conspiracy.
Funny. I usually hear that noise even without the whoopee cushion.
Just kidding, Dio.
Peace.
(Ha! Looks like Blunt and I had the same idea.)
My loved ones appreciate this story and I hope some of you do too. If there is any place to share this, it's here!
So my dream finally came true last Saturday night. I met the man, the myth, the legend. The Ghost Brothers tour kicked off at the University of Maine campus in Orono on Nov 8th. They had a reception/dinner beforehand. Our beloved writer, Moderator, and some family were there. I walked, I stalked, I met! I could barely hold myself together when he walked in yet somehow managed not to go completely batty(on the outside anyway). The first person I approached was Madame Marsha. Yep, she is pretty much the cutest little thing ever and contrary to her iron fist ruling on these boards(
After my encounter with the Madame there he was.....at the other end of the table. My friend gave me the courage to go up to him by saying it might be my last chance because dinner was about to start so I did it. I walked up and said that I had been waiting a long time for this, shook hands, asked how he thought the Red Sox were going to do in 2015, he talked about it for a small bit, I asked him for a picture which he graciously obliged and that was it. I promptly changed my Facebook profile picture to it and it's the most likes and comments I've ever gotten! lol.Of course you always think of things you wish you had said after the fact(wanted to thank him for bringing the WS trophies to Bangor and tell him that myself, my dad, and stepmom ended up on the front of the Bangor Daily News posing with said trophies)but when you're caught up in the moment and nervous as all get out that's the way it goes. It went great.
Then yesterday my friend and I got in line at 3:30am in Portland for next weeks signing, we were about 80-100 people back and we got our tickets and books! Can't wait to see him next Monday.
A little taste of yesterdays line.....yeah, I'm briefly in the shot. A couple of people were there at 10am Monday morning and camped out!
Thanks for reading and letting me share this with you guys!
I am still on a high from going to see Sai King in DC Tonight! I was in the second row Middle Section. Close to 1400 seats filled. Was a rush, such a likeable guy too.
I did get one with her as well
. Once I get them from my phone to my home computer I'll share!
I'm in Kansas City now waiting to see him tonight.
DC last night was great, I was front row second seat. Very likable and funny!! Had a great time. How cool was it to have your favorite author read to you?!!!!
Oh my God Misery! That's awesome !! Wow! I'm so happy for youMy loved ones appreciate this story and I hope some of you do too. If there is any place to share this, it's here!

Well done for going up to him! I bet you will cherish that moment forever. This is great, but I too want to see the pic
I wasn't as fortunate as you, at the signing I went it was not allowed to be pictured with him. Which makes perfect sense, obviously, as 3000 people turned up, but I would have given anything to have that picture. So what do you currently desire now? hmm? I bet you'd be stuck to answer that one now!
Just finished and he played a song on a borrowed guitar
...Oh yeah, the Great Fart Cushion Caper of 2014....It's a conspiracy I tell you, a conspiracy.
...I can easily agree about Marsha and her charm...I had always felt she was a friend, then Tracy and I met and had lunch with her in Maine...now we're family...
I almost peed my pants with excitement reading your post, your emotions were oozing out of my monitor. I'd be a quivering wreck, mumbling barely intelligible gibberish.
Thank you ma'am. I truly appreciate your(and others)excitement for me about this.Oh my God Misery! That's awesome !! Wow! I'm so happy for you

It's definitely something I'll never forget. The show itself was amazing! I've avoided spoilers since it came out a couple of years back so it was completely new to me. Great acting(who knew Gina Gershon could sing?), story, songs, directing etc. Even John Mellencamp was there and he did a curtain call with Stephen at the end. Pretty cool stuff.Hahahaha! as for my next desire? Good question. I suppose the politically correct thing would be world peace but I'll say something else that has no chance of happening either, a few million dollars in the bank!
And wow, 3000?! I'm so glad you got to see him that day!
Awww...thanks, and the feeling is mooshual.
I'm all excited reading your description. Glad you had such a good time and thanks fir sharing.
Great story! I had the pleasure at least interacting with him once. (Was lucky enough to jump in line and ask him a question during the last tour). While I didn't get any photos, I really don't need them as long as my memory lasts. It was a great moment.
On a side note, excited about new book Revival, I bought it at Barnes and Noble on Tuesday. Made a special trip. Love the feeling of a new book in hand!

Some pictures as requested. I apologize that my face(and teeth) take up half of these but I'm not the one you want to see anyway right? 
(sorry for the links but I can't seem to upload anything?)
There she is......the beloved Mod looking lovely and tiny.
